Hi guys!
Am heading off to do a litigation internship at a good firm in Kuala Lumpur.
It's for one month.
I've asked a few friends what I should do to prepare. They've advised:
1. Research the Malaysian legal system - including courts etc.
2. Research a bit about the culture, ie...
Thank you PwarYuex and Merillem!
I really appreciate your insight and guidance on this.
So Leiden have some internal funding schemes in place? Maybe I can look up their website..and try to contact them?
With DAAD, they don't have a scheme in place to fund this sadly. As for NUFFIC(the...
G'day BOS'ers
By way of introduction, I am a local penultimate year combined law student here in Sydney.
I really need your advice, opinions and guidance on a matter I'm facing.
I've found out from Netherlands(University of Leiden) that I got into their summer program to study...

Heya guys,
Sorry I don't know who to ask, or where to check this info. Any idea?
Do I need to apply for a work visa to work in London?
if you can shed light on this i'd be grateful :)
cheers
Oh god... *runs*
Mandarin then..? lol
I reckon I will decide by mid march and start learning..so I have til then to decide. And really it's for no particular reason other than pure interest, and maybe practicality with careers in future.
China's history and culture is something I have always...
Cheers for all your thoughts so far.
I'm still mulling it over. Both sound like good options.
And I'm equally interested in both. In terms of ease, I think Japanese would be a good choice, at least it has set alphabets? Unlike Chinese...
Good ideas so far - thanks! And keep em comin :)
Do you think I could contact the European Offices for clerkships @ Magic Circle firms? Or would that be a bit redundant because of Civil Jurisdiction? I was thinking I could try out for the more transactional/commercial areas of law if they asked...
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find some legal internship opportunities overseas - am hungry for some international experience.
The market in Australia is so dry unless one follows the clerkship/graduate route.
I am thinking about the following: Doing a legal internship with a firm in...
Okay, I've made a decision. Mandarin. I think it's going to be fucking hard, but I'm up for the challenge!
Hmm...I think I'm going to have to find a community college or language school for it..or a private tutor perhaps?
gumtree.com.au here I come!
Ideally I'd love to learn both really well, but that would be unrealistic for a guy who's only learnt Latin based languages(Italian & Spanish). So, am still weighing it up :)
Japanese looks cooler for some reason..3 alphabets..travel in Japan..Japanese culture..
But then similar can be said...
Awesome! Keep your thoughts coming, it is helping me form a decision :)
So far, Mandarin seems to be winning - based on what everyone has said. Seems to have much more scope..
Hi Tofuu,
You've made some really good points, thanks for the tips mate!
I'll have to do a toss up, like you said, based on which culture I'm more interested in :)
thanks again
Hi guys,
I know a few European languages, but I'd like to learn an Asian language. I already speak a South Asian language.
I want to learn either Mandarin or Japanese, to challenge myself, explore one of the cultures through their literature, and learn the language at a conversational and...
